YES, I remember, do YOU?

     I remember being activated as a member of American Airlines Initial Response Group on September 11, 2001.  I remember having thousands of conversations over the next few weeks with family members, friends, and co-workers of the victims of these attacks.  I remember our country going to war in Afghanistan, now the longest military conflict in our history.
     I remember where the terrorists originated.  There were 19 of them.  15 were from Saudi Arabia.  2 were from United Arab Emirates (UAE), and 1 each from Egypt and Lebanon.
     Evidently the President of the United States has forgotten, or quite possibly has never been aware.  He is declaring an "emergency" in order to provide Saudi Arabia and the UAE with about $8 billion dollars in offensive weapons.  You may recall these countries were mentioned in the previous paragraph.
     He has attacked a freely elected member of the House of Representatives, Ilhan Omar as an enemy of the U.S. and Israel.  He used memes which attempted to connect her to the 9/11 attacks.  This has generated substantial hate and death threats toward her.  Omar was born in Somalia.  You may notice Somalia was not a country of origin for any of the 9/11 terrorists.
     The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS), has been directly implicated in the death of Jamal Khashoggi.  Khashoggi was a permanent U.S. resident.  U.S. intelligence says MBS was responsible.  Like anything else the President finds does not agree with his world view, he has denied its validity.
     MBS has a relationship cultivated with Jared Kushner.  POTUS and his Trump Organization have extensive business ties with the Saudis.  In 2015 he even said "I love the Saudis. 
     We have provided the Saudis with myriad weapons with which to kill Yemeni civilians, including children.  Now, in order to maintain ties with and ensure he may personally enrich himself he has moved to arm and assist a nation which should be considered adversarial at best and a mortal enemy at worst. 
     I'll never forget.  Will you? 
     Apparently the President of the United States has.
